I don't think they used to check, but when I registered my mum's death in 2007, I had to show her birth and marriage certificate to show who she was, although I have a feeling it was accepted that I was her daughter. I think I had to show my dad's birth certificate when I registered his death in 2003 too.

I can't remember all details, for my dad death in Queensland, Australia, last year we supplied his wife, his parents and his children. (They asked for full birthdate for children I think. but only supplied ages of or deceased on Death Certificate)
I'm not aware that any proof was asked or provided for this information.

Hi
I'm just wondering how reliable are death certificates? I don't remember when I registered my mother's death if I was asked for proof of her age or if she was married, or if they just accepted what I told them.
So if on a certificate it says "wife of" does this mean the person was married or is it just what the person registering it has said? Do they check at all?

When I registered my father's death in 2001 had to provide his birth certificate but no ID for myself.
On a death certificate I have dated 1884 informant says "husband" yet I know they weren't legally married!

When my father died in 1993, I went straight from the nursing home where he had just died to the register office with no identification with me at all. My mother was with me but it was I who registered the death. We were both upset and shocked but I have no recollection of being asked for any proof of my identity or for any proof of the age or marital status of my father.

When I registered the death of my father in 1996 in the I.O.M., all I had was a form from Nobles Hospital, where he died.
Similarly, when I registered my mother's death in 2003, in Northumberland, all I had was a note from the doctor, who had attended after her death.
On neither occasion was I asked for any further identification for them or myself.
This could explain though, why a copy marriage cert for my paternal gr. parents was dated at the time of my gr father's death, in the 1950s.
